That explains it all, Spud. I get a ticket for towing an unladen trailer at 105K (with the flow, no overtaking opportunities etc etc) from a guy I assisted in not getting his skull kicked in a couple of weeks previously. This was in a small country town - cop knew me quite well. The ticket was "just doing his job". Made it all seem so worthwhile to me.

now that does suck. even i have to admit that (and i don't admit much....)

That is also true Lou If you want to be in a job like that, you need a professional attitude, and there are some of them out there...... But it still doesnt mean joe bloggs can be a complete wank as well......

Joe Bloggs will always be a complete wank. But the Police don't have to respond on the same level. You need a thick skin to be a cop, it's apparent that many haven't.

That 250 metres is only a "gentlemans agreement", aparently a while ago some wanker decided to defend his speeding charge by measuring that he was only 247 metres inside the speed change when he got pinged!
The top cop in that area aparently sent out a message "don't worry about the 250 metres thing anymore, you don't need to cut them the slack anymore" amazing how some ding-a-ling can ruin it for the rest eh?

It's more than a gentlemans agreement, it policy. I have seen in written in their speed enforcement dogma. It also fails to mention that it only applies when transitting from high to low speed, but I'm sure good counsel would expose that easy enough in court. It's not policy if there is a school or roadworks nearby though.

"None of these pro-Police responses increase my respect for them. Threats of retribution because someone has upset you doesn't belong in a professional Police force..."

Lou, why do you hate the Police so much?

Threats of retribution because someone has upset you doesn't belong in a professional Police force.
Lou

FFS Lou who said anything about threats??? What I said was if you come off with the big aggro "fuck off" attitude you are going to find yourself being well known to all the local coppers. Its not a threat, its a reallity that the person with the attitude will get pulled over more often. Why? Because the cops remember who the pricks are!!

You place yourself on a very high and mighty pedestal for someone who was once a traffic cop.

Why have you got this allmighty chip on your shoulder?

Did you get chucked out on your arse at the merger?? Why? Too short, too old, too stupid, wrong attitude, couldn't pass the entrance exam, couldn't pass the physical fitness test?

Maybe you sued the department and lost?

What ever it is as I see it you are nothing but a bent and twisted ex traffic cop with a huge chip on his shoulder and a shitty attitude who likes writing letters.

I'm sorry that happened, the guy is a fool, especially in a small country town. The local cop really needs the locals on his side and this sort of stuff just alienates them, he'll learn.

"Lou, why do you hate the Police so much?

He's an ex TO with a huge chip on his shoulder.
(I just posted this because I wanted to get to 300 posts, I'm sure Lou will answer your question)

Just wondering, are the primary school teachers on strike atm ?

It was never meant to be an indictment on all cops, though, Spud. There's some good buggers out there (read my post about getting a warning for being 100 over), it's just the bad buggers give the rest a bad name. Same as anywhere else in society, but when it's the police the tarnish looks a whole heap worse. BTW, the cop in question left both the district and the force.

That education is really paying dividends now, Andrew!

I did read your post and I'm not surprised he has since quit the job.

Wow, now this is livelier than the Hikoi thread.

Some cops are pricks, some aren't. Thats all Im saying....for now anyway.
